From the introduction: This is a game of co-operative storytelling, in which a team of special galaxy patrollers face seemingly impossible odds and defeat them, all within 2 hours. The heroes patrol the universe in a starship. They have each been given a Lens, a powerful artifact embedded in one hand. With the Lens, they can sense danger, communicate telepathically over great distances, and even understand alien technology. Players will take plot points and conflict points throughout the game, so make sure you have tokens (candies, coins, stones; whatever) to represent these. You also need a timer that can be set in at least 5-minute increments.
